Form W-2 reports an employee's annual wages, taxes withheld, and other important tax information for the year. Forms for the previous tax year are issued each calendar year by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) deadline of January 31. 

W-2 Forms are available in Workday by selecting the Personal tab, clicking Benefits and Pay, and then selecting My Tax Documents.

W-2 Forms for tax years prior to 2018 can be obtained via the My W-2 website in UT Direct.

Employees are encouraged to opt out of paper copies of their W-2, and elect electronic receipt only in Workday. Employees who do not consent to electronic only delivery will be mailed a paper copy through USPS to the mailing address available in Workday by the January 31st deadline. See more information here: https://afm.utexas.edu/tax-services/electronic-tax-form

W-2c Forms are issued if corrections are required after a W-2 Form has been issued. If a correction amount is at or below the de minimis limits established by the IRS, the University may choose not to make the correction on Form W-2c, unless the employee requests this be done. Employees with corrected W-2c forms generated, and those that have corrections at or below the de minimis threshold, will receive a notification from Workday when the form has been issued.

Contact Tax Services for questions about accessing your Form W-2 or Form W-2C.
